Contest: Newcomer's Guide

[Captain Jack]

Is anyone else working on a guide? You got till Friday to post it up (in Player's Guides).

[Grogggy]

No, but I do feel lately that people need a little heads up about the game--not the full on hand-holding some want--but just some factual statements about the experience.

To that end, I'm adding this to my tutorial as a prelude.


Welcome to Pirate’s Glory!

We feel you will find this is a unique gaming experience. We say that both as a tease, but also as a caution--this game is not like most games you are used to.

It is browser-based. This is actually a democratizing factor, in that almost anyone with an internet connection, however primitive, can play this game.

It is very number/math centric. There is a lot of depth to what you might think is a strictly pirate game. This is excellent in that it draw actual human player who love being THE TRADERS. They then provide the prey to THE PIRATES, who maybe don’t need/enjoy the math so much.

There really isn’t extensive help, tutorial type things available to you at this time. This actually makes the game more fun in a way, you have to seek out real people and form real relationships to learn how to play the game better. There will be times though, where you are like, “what the hell--no one told me about that.”

You can’t die. As bad as it gets (and it can get pretty bad) you can always start over exactly where you started, with one ship and a dream.

So some advice. Try stuff out, but also be careful, you can actually make mistakes in this game. Don’t ignore the real people in the game like you maybe could in other games--if you mess with someone here, they can most definitely mess back.

You can’t go wrong starting out doing the missions given to you and exploring menus (a lot of pirate’s glory’s best features are actually practically hidden within a maze of menus).

A final note: it can be devastating to lose a prized ship or some situation, especially when you first start out. As you play more, you will learn from your mistakes and be far stronger player for it. Try not to get TOO emotional about it--after all, you can’t die:)
